Chapter 1038: Whispering in the Night
It was not until dusk that Li Jing and Guo Ye finished talking. As the host, Li Jing naturally warmly asked Guo Ye to stay and have dinner together, but Guo Ye was repeatedly refused, and then left the Weiguo Mansion in a hurry.
In Guo Ye's view, he will go south to quell the rebellion in the near future, and he is about to leave, so it is natural to eat more with his wife and daughter at home.
And he knew very well in his heart that if Xiuxiu was not pregnant, the old lady would not let him leave Chang'an and go to the south to kill the enemy and quell the rebellion.
As soon as I thought of this, I was a little glad in my heart, it seems that the child in Xiuxiu's belly came in time, so towards his father, Bacheng is a leader.
When he returned to the county mansion, the porter reported the visit of the little county lord of Linyang and Princess Wencheng at noon. But unfortunately, just half an hour ago, Princess Wencheng and Chai Hehe's girl both left.
As for what they talked about with Xiuxiu, the porter didn't know.
Guo Ye pondered that eighty percent of the trivial things in a woman's family. So I didn't care about it and went straight to the dining room.
At this time, in the dining room, Lao Taijun, Xiuxiu, Zhiru, and Zhenniang, who was holding Xiao Guo Xiang, were all sitting around talking and laughing, mixed with Xiao Guo Xiang's plausible and slurred words from time to time, but they were also happy.
The whole family is waiting for him to come back and start a meal.
As soon as Guo Ye entered the dining room and sat down, the old lady gave an order, and the maids and old mothers started one after another, serving the dishes, scooping the soup, and serving the rice.
After dinner, there was a maid who brought seasonal melons and fruits, and after about an hour, the table was dispersed.
Guo Ye said goodbye to the old lady because he was still busy with official business, and took the lead in returning to the study.
It wasn't until the sound of the watch knocked a few rounds that Guo Ye involuntarily yawned, got up and stretched his waist, only to realize that it was already the third watch outside.
Feeling quite sleepy, Guo Ye went out of the study, and under the bright moonlight, he went to the courtyard where Xiuxiu was located along the corridor outside the study.
is about to leave, and Xiuxiu is pregnant, she is the number one hero of the Guo family in the eyes of the old lady, so it is reasonable for Guo Ye to stay in Xiuxiu's house all night.
When he came to Xiuxiu's house, Guo Ye found through the window that the candlelight was shining in the room, and from time to time there was the sound of manually flipping books.
With a squeak, Guo Ye pushed the door in.
I saw Xiuxiu leaning on the head of the bed in a coat, and she seemed to be flipping through a book in her hand.
Xiuxiu saw Guo Ye coming in and was about to get up to serve, but was stopped by Guo Ye hurriedly stepping forward: "Don't toss, don't move when you are pregnant, lie down well." ”
Xiuxiu sighed, and put the book in her hand directly on a low cabinet with a candlestick on the side of the bed, Guo Ye glanced at the book casually, it seemed to be from the hand of the honorary Chang'an female Wenqing You Ji girl, the title of the book is so familiar - "Sister Sister Stand Up! 》
Her grandmother's, Guo Ye smiled dumbly, if you want to say that this You Ji, a female literary youth, is really a natural writer, she understands everything, she dares to say anything and write, so she just awarded him a Tang Nobel Prize in Literature.
If memory serves, he remembers that Miss Yu Ji once told him the original intention of writing this book, this book "Sister and Sister Stand Up" is written about a beautiful girl and a rural rotten girl, under their different birth* and life trajectories, fighting against the bondage of etiquette and chasing their own happiness, and the ending is naturally happy and happy. At a higher level, this is a story about traditional feudal women's struggle for women's rights.
However, this kind of book is okay to circulate in a small area, and it still depends on You Ji's fame and talent in Chang'an City. But if You Ji dares to spread this book through big channels, after all, the content and obscure meaning of the book are too sensitive, and once it is widely circulated, the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory will talk about this girl.
Nowadays, in this kind of era, You Ji's book is not a daughter who falls in love with a poor talent, which is quite out of place.
Guo Ye came up with an idea, and when he turned around, he had time to remind this female Wenqing not to wear a wrong skirt and go astray.
Seeing Guo Ye laughing so inexplicably, Xiuxiu couldn't help but wonder: "What is the husband laughing at?" Don't you think I'm not suitable for reading Yu Ji You's latest script? ”
"Huh? No, no, I think it's good to look at books to cultivate sentiment. ”
Guo Ye said as he took off his robe and quickly got into the bed, and then gently admonished: "But You Ji writes this kind of book, you should read less in the future, so as not to bring you bad." ”
Xiuxiu glanced at Guo Ye with a little amorous feeling, and said angrily: "I think you everyone said it very well in the book, women can't blindly cling to men, and it's even more wrong to say that women are virtuous if they are not talented." Miss You Ji also said that a woman can hold up half the sky, and she can now be respected by others in Chang'an City, precisely because of her talent and her writing. Husband, what do you say? ”
When Guo Ye heard Xiuxiu's words, he knew that she had been poisoned a lot, and it seemed that her usual words and deeds to You Ji had been used by her in the book. You Ji, this girl, is really harmful.
So he didn't want to dwell on this issue with Xiuxiu anymore, so he blew out the candle with a snort, and urged in a low voice: "Sleep, sleep, it's been a busy day, my back hurts, and I have to get up early tomorrow." ”
Who knew that Xiuxiu was not sleepy at all, and said energetically: "Husband, that girl from He He came to our house with Princess Wencheng today, do you know?" ”
Guo Ye sighed and said casually: "The porter told me." ”
Seeing that Guo Ye didn't seem to be very concerned, Xiuxiu gently pushed him a little angrily and asked, "You don't want to ask, why did Princess Wencheng visit today?" ”
Guo Ye chuckled: "I've been so busy all day that my feet don't touch the ground, where do I have the leisure to inquire about these things about your woman's family." ”
Xiuxiu said jokingly after listening to it: "People didn't come to the house to visit me, but for you, husband." ”
"Huh?"
Guo Ye was in good spirits now, and sat up in a hurry, and he couldn't see his five fingers in the dark in the room, Guo Ye subconsciously turned his head and asked, "This is fresh, what did Princess Wencheng come to me for?" ”
Xiuxiu reached out and twisted Guo Ye at will with some taste, as if he had twisted his arm, and said angrily: "People came to look for you, and then praised you in front of me, Mrs. Guo." said that Guo Jungong is young and promising, both civil and military, can fight thieves on the horse, and can compose poems when he gets off the horse, it seems that this Princess Wencheng has a deep impression of her husband. ”
Guo Ye heard it, Xiuxiu was eating Princess Wencheng's vinegar.
However, he didn't naively think that Princess Wencheng came to his house, just to praise himself for making Xiuxiu jealous, not to mention that Princess Wencheng's personality was not boring to such a point, just said that he and Princess Wencheng had never had an ambiguity in this regard.
Although hearing Princess Wencheng praise herself from Xiuxiu's mouth, Guo Ye was secretly refreshed. But he still asked seriously: "Xiuxiu, do you also eat this dry vinegar?" Who is Princess Wencheng? I've only met her three or two times, so don't think too much. What is she coming to our house for today? ”
Xiuxiu was very glad that there was no light in the house, and Guo Ye couldn't see the appearance of a little woman eating dry vinegar, but what she said about the vinegar jar just now was just angry talk. She was not so irrational as to suspect that Guo Ye had anything to do with Princess Wencheng, because in her opinion, it was impossible for Princess Wencheng to have anything to do with her husband. She had never heard of a princess in all dynasties who would marry a courtier who already had a wife and concubines.
Immediately, she said the intention of Princess Wencheng today: "Princess Wencheng's visit today was to see you, but unfortunately you are not at home." She came today to be a lobbyist for He He's girl, as well as Princess Yuzhang and Princess Changle. ”
"Lobbyist? What do you mean? ”
Guo Ye was even more inexplicable now, and asked unreasonably: "Why did you still get involved with the two princesses of Changle and Yuzhang?" ”
Especially when it comes to this Changle princess Li Liqing, Guo Ye's mind immediately comes up with the scene when Tang Xuanzang opened the altar to teach the Fa in the Great Ci'en Temple.
On that day, the princess Li Liqing, who had the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, but looked at the delicate and weak Changle princess Li Lizhi, Guo Ye still remembers it vividly and vividly.
Xiuxiu said again: "Where can it be so simple? It also involves the eldest grandson queen. To be precise, it looked like He He pulled Princess Wencheng as a lobbyist, but in fact, Princess Wencheng was a lobbyist for the eldest grandson. ”
first worked as a lobbyist for Chai Hehe, a naughty girl;
and then to be lobbyists for the two princesses Yuzhang and Changle;
In the end, he was brought out to the eldest grandson queen to be a lobbyist.
At this time, Guo Ye's sleepiness disappeared, but he was even more confused, and said secretly in his heart, why does this matter sound very complicated?
Puzzled, he urged again and again: "Xiuxiu, don't go around in circles, hurry up and listen, what is Princess Wencheng looking for me at our house today?" If you don't talk about it tonight, it seems that I can't sleep well this night. ”
"Well, don't worry, it's dark in the room, you go to the lamp first, and the fire is in the second drawer of my dresser."
